Saylor Reveals: $100M Bitcoin Purchases Executable Within 60 Minutes
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin acquisition engine just shifted into hyperdrive.
The Execution Blueprint
Michael Saylor dropped the bombshell during yesterday's earnings call—his treasury strategy can deploy nine figures into Bitcoin faster than most institutions can schedule a committee meeting. The $100 million deployment capability isn't theoretical; it's operational, tested, and waiting for the right market conditions.
While traditional finance still debates allocation percentages, Saylor's machinery bypasses the bureaucracy entirely. No board approvals, no custody debates, just pure execution velocity that leaves Wall Street's legacy systems looking like dial-up modems.
Institutional adoption meets institutional acceleration—proving once again that in crypto, speed isn't just an advantage, it's the entire game. Though something tells me the SEC won't be adding 'lightning deployment' to their recommended best practices anytime soon.
Rapid bitcoin accumulation
In a recent podcast appearance, Saylor described how Strategy can complete massive Bitcoin purchases almost instantaneously. He explained:
“Sometimes we’re literally selling 50 million an hour or 100 million an hour and buying the $100 million of bitcoin the same hour. Like we could do a billion dollars of capital raising in a day and we might have 20 million of exposure at 4 pm, and by 5 pm, 6 pm, we’re fully done.”
This approach enables Strategy to respond quickly to market opportunities, making it a leader among public companies holding bitcoin.
The company currently owns 640,250 BTC—nearly 2.5% of all bitcoin in existence, according to recent disclosures.

Building in real time
Saylor emphasized the firm’s unique model, likening its process to constructing value in real time. He stated:
“If someone hit the bid and wanted to buy $500 million in a minute, we build a building in a minute. In 60 seconds. Trade is done. Cash changes hands. We create the collateral. We bought the Bitcoin underlying that day.”
Addressing criticism
Despite Strategy’s aggressive accumulation, some critics raise concerns about shareholder dilution and risk.
Saylor dismissed these concerns, arguing that critics are “strategically ignorant” of the benefits and mechanisms behind the company’s approach.
He explained that equity investors assess the company based on bitcoin yield and appreciation per share, while credit investors focus on the security’s USD yield, now swapped for a bitcoin yield using the bitcoin as collateral.
